BRATT SACKED?

News that Benjamin Bratt has emerged as the prime candidate to play the male lead in Basic Instinct 2 may not be sitting well with the film's star, Sharon Stone. According to Reuters, the actress  who has final say on who is cast as her leading man  has yet to give her approval. In the highly anticipated sequel, Bratt would play Stone's latest victim, a married, high-powered New York shrink.
